A simulator for the CLARA-A2 cloud climate data record and its application to assess EC-Earth polar cloudiness

<p>This paper describes a new satellite simulator for the CLARA-A2 climate data record (CDR). This simulator takes into account the variable skill in cloud detection in the CLARA-A2 CDR by using a different approach to other similar satellite simulators to emulate the ability to detect clouds....
